What If Learning
The What If Learning (WIL) approach is an outcome of the Transforming Lives Project which had input from UK ( Trevor Cooling), USA ( David Smith) and Australia. It is supported by a wide ranging website with practical examples, training materials and background information.
It asks the question : What kind of human beings do we wish to develop in our schools? It involves the aspiration of building Christian character. It involves a distinctive, holistic and consistent approach to education.
It is an approach that will enable headteachers and teachers to articulate what is distinctively Christian about their curriculum. It goes a long way to address standards in SIAMS and a focus on character education.
It also asks the question: What do children imagine they are doing in a classroom?
